Render text as html

programming flash
1

hi everyone,
im using render text as html option in flash mx, and it renders everything else i need perfectly except < img > tags, i till now havent realy found a solution to get the images needed on the right place… any idea how i could fix the problem? it ignores < img > tags.
One suggested to:

Flash can only import jpg and swf files.

Include width and height attributes in the img tag, then use
textFormat.blockIndent and margin to make a space in the text. Then use
loadMovie to insert the image. It’s a bit of a nightmare actually because
TextFormat.getTextExtent can be a bit peculiar…

it sounds good, but i suppose im a bit noobish with actionscript… i havent found much help on textFormat …

Any new ideas how to fix the problem? or coudl explane me what i quote here a bit wider?

Thanks in advance,
Melborp

HTML in Flash is limited to text formatting. Any images you add will have to be placed manually. Yes, flash can dynamically load images into a movie, but that is a completely seperate process than that dealing with HTML, and even then, manual placement is needed.

ok how could i add image exatly to the place i need? it would have to be between html txt… there aint much info on textFormat.blockIndent etc… the quote says to make space and use loadMovie to get jpg-s on right place… the confusing part is the textFormat, not much info about it or tutorials… or am i blind?
